Cosmos 2368 r1 was easily visible at 1x from a well-lit parking lot.  The 
pass was from the NNW to the SE passing through Perseus (45az, 73el) at 
23:17:50 UTC 21 January.   It appeared to be flashing at about an 8 second 
period with brightness varying between +1.5 and +2.5.  It never quite reached 
the brightness of Capella.  

Alan Pickup's Sat-Evo program predicts a 10 February decay for this object
